LTO-8 Drives

Scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech to datahoarderEnglish · 2 months ago

Hey folks, I’m lucky enough to be in one of the few places on the internet that uses LTO.

I’m running LTO-8 tape. My current drive is kind of a dud, I’m interested in a new (to me) drive. Either internal in just an old desktop, or an external drive. I’m not afraid to shell out for it, but if I am I’m nervous to drop 2000 on just a random ebay seller. Anyone have any reputable sources? In the Seattle area if anyone knows a local one too.

Why don’t you use old drive (lto7<=) with more tapes?

Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data – legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they’re sure it’s done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we’re trying really hard not to forget.
